[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1006723, member: 30902"] Doug I'm not a great big guy either but I shoot the 7mm STW, 300WM, 300 Rum, and 375 Ruger. I don't have any expert advice but I do have a lot of experience and I'm happy to share it. All of them can be extremely tolerable recoil wise with a good recoil pad like the Limbsavers and a good Muzzle Brake. I have the North West PRecision Muzzle brakes on each of those calibers and it has tamed them to the point they are flat out a pleasure to shoot. They are also far easier blast and noise wise on the shooter of all of the side discharge brakes I have tried while giving excellent recoil reduction and reduction in muzzle flip. With it you can see your impacts easily from 300yds on out and less if you manage recoil well. The 7mm STW will kill anything in North America with east to 600yds, all day, every day, and twice on Sundays and it is the least of those listed all things being equal of all of them. If weight is not a big issue for you pick up a Weatherby Accumark or Remington Sendero in 7mm STW add the brake and pad and you're off to the races. The most accurate rifles I own are a M70 Sharphsooter in &mm STW and a heavy custom in 7mm STW built on a Montana 199 action (basically a beefed up Winchester CRF action ) and both are a dream to shoot. My next most accurate rifle is a Model 70 classic stainless in 300wm. I can punch pie plates with any of the three in excess of 800yds anytime the conditions are good and a fair bit further when they are ideal. If you can find a Sharpshoter in 7mm STW you will have the best of all worlds because it weighs in at about 7.5lbs. They are rare but they can be had. My next most accurate [/QUOTE]
